Resided in Gatlinburg, TN
Lela Jane Reagan, age 84, passed away Sunday, October 9, 2016 at home surrounded by family after a brief battle with cancer. Jane was born March 30, 1932 in Sevierville, TN. She was the youngest of five children born to Victor and Lela Love. She attended Pi Beta Phi where she was a member of the Gatlinburg basketball team. During the summers while in high school, she would rent a room with her sister, Rose, and worked in downtown Gatlinburg. During this time, Fred Oakley introduced Jane to Jack Reagan and they began a life-long courtship, marrying right after Jane graduated from high school in 1950. Soon after, Jane gave birth to their first son, Sam, followed by Dan and Mark. Jane was active in her sons' lives by being PTA president, weightlifting with son Dan, and being a homemaker. She enjoyed playing tennis, working out, traveling, and had a beautiful rose garden. After her sons were grown, Jane went to work in the family business, God's Corner, located in The Village in Gatlinburg. She worked there until her retirement in 2008. Jane loved life, loved her family, and will be missed by all.
